Loose Fucking Cannons
I have been following the r/Illinois sub-Reddit.
Below is a video, taken in late October, purported to be of an ICE vehicle ramming the vehicle of an American citizen on her way to work. It appears that the ICE vehicle was trying to escape a hostile crowd as they were making abductions.
The agents then exit their vehicle and drag the citizen out of her car, with guns drawn.
They have no control, no professionalism. They have an exaggerated sense of fear.
There are many, many videos of activities such as this taking place every day.
I wish someone would make an ad that is blasted on both cable and network television which screams about these these atrocities, because more than a few people who I know in real life, as well as acquaintances viewed social media, seem to have no idea what is going on.
Many people are still cheering on the "getting rid of the worst of the worst" trope, without actually understanding that this whole thing reeks of purposeful escalation, and that they too, will likely be at risk.
There is also an article about this embedded in the comments following the video.
